Centenary College embarked on a campus-planning process to address future facilities, circulation, parking, green spaces and, most important, a new zoning classification. The present zoning of college land requires an exhaustive approval process, including public hearings, for the construction of any facility.

A key planning action, therefore, was to organize a community advisory committee made up of neighborhood representatives whose input would help create a campus master plan that could be approved by the entire community.

The results:

-A comprehensive, user-friendly, master plan.

-A spirit of cooperation with adjacent college neighbors.

-Partnerships at local and state levels.

-A new zoning status that enables the college to control its own planning direction.
